This Paris institution is regaining its lustre following the death of aged owner Claude Terrail in 2006. In the kitchen, Breton-born Stéphane Haissant has brought a welcome creative touch to the menu, bringing in unique dishes such as a giant langoustine dabbed with kumquat purée and surrounded by lightly scented coffee foam. But he also shows restraint, as in duck (the house speciality) with cherry sauce and a broad bean flan. Following in his father's footsteps, Terrail's soft-spoken son André now does the rounds, making sure that the diners are happy.

Our forth time in 10 years, but going down as we speak. Unless you are chinese or american from north dakota, forget it. The frog legs were tasteless, the canard hard as a stone, the chesee dated. A spot for tourists with no taste. A real pity for this restaurant of great tradition and, in the past, great food. For this type of restaurant better try L'Ambroisie, Grand Vefour or Lasserre. La Tour is now a place for cheap tourists in want of a "french" experience.
